“Edward Weston. The matter of forms”

Photography. A collection of 200 photographs and documentary material conceived as a European approach to the legacy of modern American photography.

The exhibition Edward Weston. The matter of forms has been conceived as an anthology that covers the different phases of the artist's photographic production, from his initial interest in pictorialist approaches to his consolidation as one of the central figures in affirming the poetic and speculative value of direct photography.

A pioneer in the use of a modern photographic style, his work is known for the use of a large-format camera, resulting in richly detailed black and white, extraordinary sharp images.

His mastery of the technique, together with his love of nature and form, resulted in a body of work that highlights iconic images of still lifes, nudes, landscapes and portraits.

Co-founder of Group f/64, his images are key to understanding the new aesthetic and new American lifestyle that emerged in the United States between the wars.
